Oscar  Wilde 
(16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900)
 prolific Irish writer who wrote plays, fiction, essays, and poetry.
 He became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. 
 Known for his biting wit, flamboyant dress and glittering conversation, Wilde became one of the best-known personalities of his day. At the turn of the 1890s, he refined his ideas about the supremacy of art in a series of dialogues and essays, and incorporated themes 
of decadence, duplicity, and beauty.
Wilde had his first full homosexual relationship with Robbie Ross, Wilde had taken an interest in same sex relationships. 
He met and kissed Walt Whitman and had lived with the painter Frank Miles. 
Constance Wilde (January 2, 1859 – April 7, 1898), was Oscars wife and the mother of his two sons Vyvian and Cyril. Oscar rarely spent the night at home. 
 Alfred, Lord Douglas is the most famous of Oscars lovers.
There was also John Gray, a group of young poets & numerous rentboys~ prisoners & gamins throughout Oscar's life.
Oscar was, for his era openly gay - 
not the most sensible thing to be if you wanted to get on in Victorian England.
At the height of his fame and success, Wilde had the Marquess of Queensberry prosecuted for criminal libel. The Marquess was the father of Wilde's lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. 
 After two trials he was convicted and imprisoned for two years' hard labour,
 the maximum penalty. 
Oscar Wilde died destitute in Paris at the age of 46.

FIRST GAY MALE KISS IN CANADIAN NAVY HISTORY!

Master Seaman Francis Legare made Canadian Navy history this week when the HMCS Winnipeg docked in Victoria and he greeted his partner Corey Vautour.
The couple embraced and kissed in what was the “first kiss” between a male sailor returning from sea and his male partner.
It’s a time-honoured Navy tradition that there’s a raffle to decide which sailor is allowed off a ship first to kiss a loved one after an extended time at sea, acting sub-lieutenant Kyle Reed said.
This time, Legare won the draw and the right to kiss Vautour after spending almost nine months away from home.
“It’s the first same sex kiss for males, but it’s not the first same sex kiss ever.
“It’s a very positive thing,” said Reed, who added that the encounter showcases a “more inclusive, more tolerant” Navy.
